Salvia ‘Mirage Cherry Red’ (3 x 13cm Pots)

Plant Information

Description

If you love vibrant colour in the garden, Salvia ‘Mirage Cherry Red’ is a real beauty. Its rich cherry-red flowers create a wonderful display, bringing warmth and colour to your borders and patio pots throughout the flowering season.

For a truly superb display, we recommend planting in groups of three. Together, the plants create a lovely mound of colour that really catches the eye. They look beautiful in sunny borders, gravel gardens or large containers near a seating area, where you can sit back and enjoy the flowers. The blooms are also a welcome source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.

Salvia ‘Mirage Cherry Red’ prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil. Water regularly while the plant is getting established, then it will need much less attention. Once settled in, it is fairly drought-tolerant, although watering during prolonged dry spells will help keep it looking its best.

Avoid planting in soil that stays waterlogged, particularly during winter. A gentle prune in spring will encourage fresh growth and help maintain its neat, compact shape.

Easy to grow, long-flowering and full of colour, Salvia ‘Mirage Cherry Red’ is a lovely choice for creating a bold, cheerful display in your garden.
